Sustainable Cities and Communities: When we want to talk about and explain how a city or community becomes sustainable, we focus mainly on the environment ie: the effects we as the citizens of these cities and communities have on it and what we do to reverse all the negatives and this can even lead the community to become self-sustainable and then get it to spread to the whole city, then the state, then the country – can you see where this is leading?
So to start off with what we can do to become sustainable here are some example anyone from a single citizen to a major corporation in that city or community can do:
- 1- RECYCLE AND RE-USE:
I know we have been bombarded with this term on a daily basis and has been a headache for many as sometimes to start it up can cost a bit of a penny, but we should think of it not only as a change of lifestyle for a short of even long period but as a change in thinking and doing forever, passing it on from generation to generation.
This will lessen the dumping sites needed and certain waste like food and food by-products can be recycled into clean and pure pesticide-free manure for growing health and non-GMO food.
So whether at home or the office get a sustainable project like this going ASAP even if it means having to employ specific certain to make sure this happens. (even though it is every citizen on this planets responsibility to make sure this happens)
- 2 – PAPER INSTEAD OF PLASTIC:
Like they say on the airline ” CHICKEN OR BEEF” all stores and shops in the community and then spreading to the cities, ” SHOULD NOT HAVE THAT SAYING OR GIVE CLIENTS THAT CHOICE “.
It is plain and simple, remove the choice and everyone will start using biodegradable paper.
But if you want to save that part of the economy, those companies can remove all dumped plastic already out there and recycle into polyester which can then be re-used into almost anything, and last a lot longer than you plastic and is stronger so the period between replacing the item is much longer so less is used or wasted if not recycled again.
So just by following these to simple examples (there are many more), you can become a Sustainable Cities and Communities.
